Answer:
(x, y) = (3/2, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the second equation, we can write an expression for y:
y = 3 -4x
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
-6x -5(3 -4x) = 6
-6x -15 +20x = 6 . . . . eliminate parentheses
14x = 21
x = 21/14 = 1.5
y = 3 -4(1.5) = 3 -6 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (1.5, -3).
